I have been talking with Siraj over tumblr for weeks now. He is a dedicated journalist that aspires to get a PHD, for months he walked 3 km daily just to get some expensive internet hotspot, nevertheless the danger and how he could use some of the money spent to get water and food for his family. But it is not like he has a choice. Quoting Siraj “With every book you read, there are true stories written in blood. Does this mean anything to you? Why are am I telling you that? I don’t know. But dear friend said to me one day: “Write, Siraj. Don’t stop. Write so that Siraj can rest. Write for Siraj.”

The situation for his family has become increasingly dire, with his son Amir in constant physical pain with a skin infection that has spread to another sibling. And this new update Siraj just gave as if today that his parents and 7 brothers was notified by IOF and had to evacuate to them to escape death. They need funds asap to purchase new tent and other necessities of life.

Please help him out. It is the least we can do right now. As if 8/16/2024 we are at $38,072 CAD and we need to reach the 40,000 CAD short term goal asap. He is vetted at 219 on Hussein’s spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yYkNp5U3ANwILl2MknJi9G7ArY4uVTEEQ1CVfzR8Ioo/edit Remember that if you are in the US, 1 USD equals 1.39 CAD so even a small donation goes far.

Siraj deserves to be able to provide a well-built home for his children, who have been sleeping in a tent for months now since their home was destroyed. I have also attached a graphic to make sharing in various platforms easier!
